(Wilmington insurrection of 1898)

The events of Nov. 10, 1898 were a result of the long-range campaign strategy by Democratic Party leaders to regain political control of Wilmington,” he wrote, “at that time (the) state’s most populous city – and North Carolina in the name of white supremacy.”

Woodhouse may have been more interested in gaining political points than actually probing a painful memory in North Carolinian history.

Learning from our past helps us to not repeat it. It is important to remember Democrats are a party born of white supremacy and are masters of deflection

Democrats dividing people based on race in the pursuit of power .

Violence and riots used to intimidate and manipulate the public.

Democrat voter fraud

Governors refusing to ask President McKinley for help with riots

The unfortunate assassination of President McKinley by and anarchist.

The attack by the left on American sovereignty has been going on steadily since the presidency of Woodrow Wilson.

once again, they are trying to establish that racist democrats switched parties under nixon. they are denying that the democratic party is the party of anti civil rights.

[vpintheak]

Dems began as a party of hatred and division, and they continue to be the same party today. They only become worse because of social media and the MSM helps spread their message.

[Albion Wilde]

Yeah, Atlantic, this is pretty thin on evidence, especially compared to d’Sousa’s more rigorous debunking five years ago of the “Southern parties switched sides” trope. Not buying this attempt at whitewashing the continuous stream of Democrat hypocrisy, lying and bad behavior.

The attack by the left on American sovereignty has been going on steadily since the presidency of Woodrow Wilson.

Partner, we did not know as much as we should have on President Woodrow Wilson back then as we do now.

It is a shame that we now have Antifa and BLM which is a bunch of anarchists and communists in our midst.

President Woodrow Wilson came in after President Teddy Roosevelt and Roosevelt should have stayed as our POTUS since he really saved so much money that it is really incredible what a job he did as our POTUS.

You mean to say that you don’t go to The Atlantic for factual historical analysis?

[NTHockey]

The coordinated attacks were led by Josephus Daniels, a virulent bigot. Daniels was Wilson’s Secretary of the Navy. Daniels convinced Wilson to resegregate Washington, DC and Civil Service.

His UnderSecretary? Why, none other than FDR, who led a witch-hunt against homosexuals in the Navy.

The Wilmington Insurrection was a dark chapter where a duly elected city government was overthrown by a mob and help usher in the Nadir of American race relations.

However there are times when good people win too. Here’s a time when the people overthrew a corrupt government...

This article repeats the fake history that southern conservatives moved to the Republican Party because of the passage of the civil rights acts.

It happened because the McGovern/Kennedy wing split the party over Vietnam in the 70's.

None of the Southern Democrat segregationist Senators who opposed the civil rights acts crossed the aisle to become a Republican.
